Mike + The Mechanics - The Living Years (2019 Version) (Official Audio) chords
Jam Along & Learn...
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that I'd said what was on my [Db] mind
Wish I didn't leave it such a long, long time
[Ab] Wish I'd said it way [Db] back in the living
[Ab] year
Every generation reigns among [Db] before
All of their frustrations just [Db] come kneeling on your door
[Gb] Know that I'm a prisoner from all my father held so dear
[Bbm] Know that I'm a hostage from all [Bb] his hopes and fears
I just [Eb] shit out a towing in the living [Ab]
years
Oh, a grump of it's own paper [Ab] filled [Db] with imperfect thoughts
Still the conversation, and I'm afraid that's all we've got
[Gb] Say you just don't see it, it says it's perfect sense
[Bbm] Just can't get a grip of it, in the present tense we [Eb] all
Walk a different language, walking in [Ab] defense
Say it loud, say [Db] it clear, and say it clear
[Bbm] As [Eb] well as [Ab] you can, but now it's too late
It's too late, for [Db]
when we die, [Bbm]
we don't [Eb] see eye [Ab] to eye
So we open up a corridor, in [Db] the present and the past
We [Ab] only sacrifice the future, [Db] it's a bit of mess that lasts
[Gb] So don't yield to the fortunes, [Gb] you might sometimes see us fail
[Bbm] Might bring a new perspective, on a different day
[Eb] And if you don't give up, and don't give in, just might be [Ab] okay
Say it loud, say [Db] it clear, and say it clear
As [Bbm]
well [Eb] as [Ab] you can, but now it's too late
It's gonna be too late, for [Db]
when we die, we [Bbm]
don't [Eb] see eye [Ab] to eye
Well I wasn't there that morning, [Db] when my father passed away
And [Ab] I didn't get to tell him, [Db] all the things I had to say
[Gb] Thought I caught his spirit, later that [Eb] same year
[Bbm] Sure I heard he's in coma, baby's new born tears
I [Eb] just wish I'd have told him, in the living [Ab]
years
So say it loud, say it [Db]
clear, and say it clear
[Bbm]
As well as [Ab] you can
But it's just too late, when [Db] we die
Too late, when we die
We [Bbm]
don't see eye [Ab] to eye
Say it loud, [Db] say it clear, and [Db] say it clear
Say [Ab] it loud, say [Db] it clear, [Ab] and say it clear
